Reverse Shoplifting by Sam Archer

January 14th, 2013 1:10 PM / Location: 37.762733,-122.4662

INSTRUCTIONS: Insert an object into a store. Make sure your object can be bought.

Since my Ymir completion I've made quite a few more terrariums. I give most of them away for fear that if I don't, I will look up one day to find they've taken over every surface in my home.

This is my latest. Isn't it pretty?

Pretty!

With most of my family members having received terrariums from me for Christmas, I couldn't think of anyone to give this away to. So why not see if anyone wants to buy it?

A fair price.

Way below market prices for one of these trendy little things, but more than a fair value for what I tend to spend on making them. The handmade price tag shouldn't look too out of place at one of those froofy boutique shops.

RUN AWAY!

Luckily, I didn't have to actually go into the shop to find a place to stock this item; as it was I was irrationally terrified of someone seeing me put it down and asking what the hell I was doing, and I fled the scene of the crime as quickly as possible. I'm hoping it makes the day of some terrarium shopper on a budget.

Awesome! I love the hand-craftedness, I love the influence of a previous task, and I love that you used what appears to be a succulent.

If I had a store, I don't think I would be upset at someone for sneaking inventory "in" to the store. At least not something as pleasant as your terrarium.

I should place a sign "Please do not reverse shoplift any deleterious items"

So is it still there?

Haven't been back since I placed it. I would guess that if it hasn't been purchased it's been otherwise removed from the shelves by now, but I might be able to confirm this weekend.
